This report outlines the design, methodology, findings and recommendations of a study of the causes and impacts of youth homelessness in the Regional Municipality of Niagara conducted between February 2009 and February 2010. The report outlines the findings from a study of 40 homeless youth and 20 chronically homeless adults who became homeless when youth.

This project was not intended to enumerate the homeless youth in Niagara, but to explore the causes and impacts of youth homelessness among youth, including the impacts that may still be there for homeless adults.
